Movie Reviews

About.com - 7/10 by Jennifer MerinFilmmaker Junichi Suzuki reveals a WWII secret: 6,000 Japanese-Americans joined MIS (Military Intelligence Service, fighting against Japan, even 'tho the U.S. placed their loved ones into internment camps.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Neil GenzlingerThe execution is a bit clumsy, but the documentary MIS: Human Secret Weapon shines a light on an interesting bit of World War II history.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Andrew SchenkerWhen one MIS vet refers to "American soldiers" and doesn't include himself, his son-in-law corrects him, but even after all of his service to his country, the man still feels excluded, a sense that the film powerfully communicates throughout.
Variety - 5/10 by John AndersonJunichi Suzuki's documentary ratchets up the sentiment when a cooler touch would have sufficed.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Gary GoldsteinThe accompanying trove of archival footage and photos, however, helps break the occasional monotony; the juxtaposition of these elderly vets with snapshots of their 1940s-era, uniformed selves is always affecting.
Slant Magazine - 1/10 by Calum MarshThe documentary necessitates a degree of respect and sensitivity that makes it difficult to stress how bad it is.
User Review - 4/10 by Vincent SSadly, the soundtrack deters from whatever the veterans are saying. The volume is so low that the music drowns out the testimonies. Too bad that this was not corrected before general sale, since it might have been worthy of purchase and sharing with people who have no idea of the Japanese-American soldiers' roles in WWII.
